The 2022 World Junior Hockey Championship finally came to a close on Saturday night, as Finland and Canada battled for world supremacy at hockey among under-20 players. If you were to predict the result solely on their round robin match, you’d have expected a walkthrough for team Canada, but it ended up being an incredibly close game.
Despite a somewhat tepid start to the game, a tenacious forecheck by Montreal Canadiens prospect Joshua Roy would eventually lead to the first goal. Mason McTavish would get the puck off the forecheck, put it on net, and Roy’s quick hands allowed him to be first to the puck and make it 1-0 for Canada.
